New Smart Toilet Seat Monitors Blood Pressure Trends, Vital Signs at Home

Casana launched the Smart Seat, a smart toilet seat that automatically monitors blood pressure trends, heart rate, heart rate variability, blood oxygen and respiratory rate at home — giving adults and their families effortless, daily health tracking with nothing to wear, charge or learn.

The Smart Seat runs on a two-year battery, installs in minutes and automatically recognizes up to five household members. There is no camera and no microphone. Health data is encrypted and shared only by the user’s choice. All readings appear as wellness trends against a user’s own normal and are automatically captured in the Smart Seat Companion App. A few readings per week is enough to build a clear picture of what’s normal, and to notice when something changes.

The launch follows the FDA’s General Wellness: Policy for Low Risk Devices guidance, published in January 2026, which opened clear regulatory room for at-home wellness vitals. The Smart Seat is among the first consumer products built for this framework. The company is backed by General Catalyst, Matrix Partners, Morningside, Outsiders Fund, Kaiser Permanente and Bemis Manufacturing. The Smart Seat is designed and manufactured in Rochester, New York.
